Nintendo wants to build a billion dollar mobile game empire

Remember how adamant Nintendo was on not entering the mobile game business during the Wii and DS era? Oh, how things have changed. The company now has a bunch of really popular mobile games under its belt, and although it has up until now kept its promise that it wouldn't release a "full-fledged" title in one of its flagship franchises as a mobile game, things may be about to change.
According to Nikkei interview with Furukawa, he is looking for a title that mirrors the success of Pokémon Go, which he believes succeeded because developer Niantic managed to tailor the gameplay, story, and entire experience to better suit the smartphone format. Nintendo is certainly a company that knows how to play to a system's strengths—all you need is to take a look at a console Mario game and one of the handheld titles to see the fundamental differences and strengths of each—but Furukawa doesn't yet know what this heavy-hitter will be. “I can’t say that there are any that are like that” in development, Furukawa told Nikkei.
